SOTD - July 2020

[GAW9576]

SOTD Yesterday (7/23).  It was a first shave with my black handled E2.  Basically, I hadn't shaved since Monday, so there was quite a bit to mow down.  Included in this shave was a brand new "chick" blade along with my Omega boar (10077) and some Meissner Tremonia Dark Limes.  This particular E2 has a black handle and (of course) the characteristic movable spring and a bi-sected lather guard channel (as opposed to the fully open triangular shaped ones).

As to the shave, well it was....really, really nice! Decently efficient, but noticeably less so than my fixed-spring E3. And the E2 was much more mild in nature than the E3....I mean, it felt like shaving with a G in comparison to my E3. I got so comfortable with it that I started getting reckless with my technique, but I had to really push it to give me a single weeper (which washed away instantly with witch hazel). I also ended up with a BBS shave a not a hint of irritation. Honestly, this E2 was far more polite than my E3. It was 3-passes of shaving enjoyment and extremely smooth results.

  

Beautiful razor and great photo. I love the black and red theme.
